Confidential Business Information under TSCA

TSCA CBI Training - Responsibilities

Returning TSCA CBI Documents

You are permitted to log out TSCA CBI documents from your DCO and to keep the documents in an approved storage container or approved Secure Storage Area (SSA), as defined in the TSCA CBI Protection Manual, for up to one year. You must return TSCA CBI to the DCO as soon as the material is no longer needed.  Documents are logged out to regional DCOs on a permanent basis.

Any material kept longer than one year is considered overdue. Materials that are not returned to the DCO within 14 days of notification are presumed unaccounted for and your DCO then must notify his/her division director of unaccounted-for materials.

There's more about this later in the course.
